Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

The Museum of Glass has just been awarded the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG) Annual Award for 2008. The AACG is a non-profit supporting glass art via exhibition grants, teaching programs, seminars and so on. On receiving the annual award (and the accompanying $5,000) MoG director Tim Close was invited to give a lecture on the museum's mission and recent changes at the Sculpture Objects and Functional Art (SOFA) exposition in Chicago last Saturday.
From the MoG press release:
“We are very honored to be the recipient of this prestigious award,” states Close. “The Museum of Glass strives to be the best contemporary glass museum in the world by providing inspiring exhibitions in our galleries, entertaining and explanatory demonstrations in our Hot Shop, and engaging educational programs for our visitors—all with the goal of making glass and art accessible to all. To have the AACG recognize our efforts is significant.”
Previous recipients of the AACG Annual Award include the Museum of American Glass at Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass and Pilchuck Glass School.
